No, they don't. If they did, it'd probably be a felony to share them.
The specifics of the operation, including the names of the dummy corporations used or how the scheme was precisely carried out, have not been declassified.
The amount of titanium actually acquired is unknown too. The US was producing a significant amount of titanium at the time and for all we know, Ben Rich was privy to very limited information about its provenance that he then extrapolated for the sake of narrative.
